I was walking through the coals of
my fallen loved ones. I start to cry when I see Vicki on the
ground...dead.

"Attack the NBC? You've got to be
kidding me?!" Mark exclaims, "We lost Vicki, Brian, and almost
YOU! You're lucky that we barely won this war!" I knod "We're not
going,"

"Yes we are", I say, "just give it
time," I want Mark to just trust what I'm trying to do. I look at
chance's bloody leg.

"Rodney, you're lucky we barely won
this war!!" Mark yells. "How do you feel? We lost so many people
and lots of people injured. I hope you're happy,"

"I'm not happy," I say with
sympothy.

"Let's just go back to Googe..." he
says. I'm walking back with Mark, Chance, and me. Hopefully
things will be better. I go back to the shack when I see writing
on the walls.

"Keep Out," It says. I decided to
ignore it. I set chance on the table. I take out my blueberry
muffin and give it to chance

"No, Tim, you have it," He
says

"Fine, we share it," I utter

"1-2-3," we both say. I gobble mine
and chance just eats it 1 bite at a time. I walk out of the room
to see where Mark went. I notice him in the main field where
Vicki died.

"She was a good person," I say. "Too
bad she had to go,"

"She was a great person,"
He adds. "I bet she's in a better place,"her a

"I'm going back to check on chance,"
I utter. I walk back to the room where I set chance down. I
notice that he had more blood than when I found him. I start to
look around for any clues for who did this

"UGH!" Chance screams. "What
happened?" I decide not to answer him and grab a towel and make
it damp. I rub it lightly on his legs and his back. I grab the
bandages and wrap it around his leg.

"Please go to the meeting room
A.S.A.P.," I say on the loudspeaker. The way me and chance walk
is military style. One hand over someone's sholder. when I get to
the meeting room, I only notice five people, but that's what I
expected of the council.

"Everyone's noticed the sign in
front of the front door?" I ask.

"I experenced it," Chance
says.

"So, what are we gonna do about it?"
Rick asks

"What are we gonna do about
it?" I repeat. "We're gonna fight back. We're never gonna do
nothing,"

"Tim's right. Why sit here. We need
to fight back and protect out fort as much as we can,"

"Glad you could join us, Hudson."
Says Mark

"Hudson, good to see you're back," I
say. "How are your days?" He looks at me with narrow eyes.

"Not too shabby... But not too
cold," He explains. "Updates?"

"Well, Chance has been struck by his
brother, or atleast I think," I say to Hudson.

"Did Brian come with you?" Mark
asks.

"I'm sorry to say, no," Hudson
says.

"That's too bad", I say,"I think we
are done. Go back to doing what you were doing." Everyone walks
out but me, Mark, Hudson, and Chance.

"I'm just going to go," Chance
says.

"Alrighty. I'll see you
around." We wait for Chance to limp out of the room. Hudson
starts talking again. "Mark, I am really
sorry for what happened to Vicki.
